Real Madrid announced in an official statement that Dani Ceballos is suffering from a muscle injury and will be away from the royal club for a long time.
The Spanish international left the match against Real Sociedad in the first leg of the King’s Cup semi-final crying, affected by an injury that seemed horrific at first.
According to the Merengue statement, Ceballos’ injury is an injury to the left hamstring muscle that affected the tendons of the foot.
According to Spanish media, Ceballos will be absent from Real Madrid for at least two months as a result of this injury.
Thus, the 27-year-old is confirmed to miss the two matches against Atletico Madrid in the round of 16 of the Champions League, as well as the two quarter-final matches if Los Blancos pass the derby in Europe.
Ceballos’ injury is a blow to coach Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, as he has been a starter in the last two months thanks to his outstanding performances, which made Real Madrid’s management think about renewing his contract.
It is worth noting that Ceballos participated in 30 matches with Real Madrid this season, during which he scored two goals.
